Type an amendment number. The field can be a maximum of six characters. Amendment numbers can be alphanumeric. If only numeric values are used, the field is zero-filled to equal six digits when a partial amendment number is entered and you tab out of the field (e.g., you entered 123, the field is zero-filled to 000123). If alphanumeric values are used, the field is not zero-filled to equal six characters (e.g., you entered ABC2, the amendment number remains ABC2).

Note: Each amendment number entered is validated against existing journal voucher numbers and amendment numbers. If the amendment number entered already exists as either an amendment number or a journal entry number in Finance, the duplicate amendment number cannot be used. Another amendment number can be entered.
